Puerto-Rican sugar-plantation saddle tanker for the Guantanamo Sugar Company's 13 1/2-mile (21.7-km) narrow-gauge line. The specification requires the 1 to haul 12-15 short tons of "cars & lading" up a straight 1/2% grade with frictional resistance not to exceed 15 lb per ton (7.5 kg per tonne) and to control about twice as much train load heading downgrade.

Locobase 13336 shows the first of these really small saddle tanks. When the Puerto Rican sugar mill ordered a second locomotive eighteen years later, they went for slightly more of everything: cylinder volume, tubes for more heating surface, and a larger firebox. All this was available for a mere two short tons (1,814 kg). Like the earlier engine, the 12 was challenged by curves with radii as tight as 50 feet (16 metres).
